General Power Tool Safety Warnings



WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

powertool.

1) Work area safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust orfumes.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) Electrical safety

a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electricshock.

b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed orgrounded.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electricshock.

d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electricshock.

e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electricshock.

3) Personal safety

a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not

use a power tool while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personalinjury.

b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.

c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the off position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the switch on

invitesaccidents.

d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached

to a rotating part of the power tool may result in

personalinjury.

e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power tool

in unexpectedsituations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in movingparts.

g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-relatedhazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

wasdesigned.

b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.

c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

the battery pack from the power tool before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power toolaccidentally.

d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power

27

ENGLISH

tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.

e ) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardoussituation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with

another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create

a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal objects that can

make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns

or afire.

d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.

6) Service

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.

Pack Charged

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

Problem Pack or Charger

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can

arise. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast

rate. If this occurs, remove and then reinsert the battery pack

into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery

pack to determine if the charger is working properly. If the new

pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and

should be returned to a service center or other collection site

for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble

indication as the original, have the charger and the battery pack

tested at an authorized service center.

The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.

The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by

displaying problem pack or charger blink pattern.

NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.

If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery

pack to be tested at an authorised service centre.

Hot/Cold Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too

cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending

charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate

temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the

pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery

pack life.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm

battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate

throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to

maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

Electronic Protection System

XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection

System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,

overheating or deep discharge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection

System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery

pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Charger Cleaning Instructions



WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger

from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease

may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a

The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel

and with normal usage, they will not require resharpening.

However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence (figure O), stones,

glass, or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade.

There is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not

interfere with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere,

remove the battery and use a fine toothed file or sharpening

stone to remove the nick. If you drop the trimmer, carefully

inspect it for damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked,

handles broken or if you see any other condition that may affect

the trimmer’s operation contact your local

DeWALT authorized

service center

for repairs before putting it back into use.

Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which

greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit

on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.

With the battery removed, use only mild soap and a damp

cloth to clean the unit. Never let any liquid get inside the unit;

never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid. Prevent the

blades from rusting by applying a film of light machine oil

aftercleaning.

Blade sharpening (Fig. P)

• KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. A DULL

BLADE DOES NOT CUT CLEANLY.

• WHEN SHARPENING BLADE, ENSURE THAT BATTERY

ISREMOVED.

REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED

BLADE IMMEDIATELY

It is recommended that sharpening of blades be performed by

a DeWALT factory service center. However, blade edges may be

sharpened by using a fine tooth file

25

.

1. Run trimmer until cutting blades

26

and guard teeth

27

are offset enough so the guard tooth cannot be touched by

the file. DO NOT file the guard teeth.

2. Be sure the lock-off lever is engaged, the blade has stopped,

and the battery has been removed before sharpening blade.

3. Wear proper eye protection and gloves, and be careful not

to cut yourself.

4. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a fine tooth

file. File toward the cutting edge

28

at the original cutting

angle (38 degrees from horizontal). File only the straight

cutting edges

28

of the blades. Do not file where the cutting

edge curves into the center of the blade.

5. Flip the trimmer over to sharpen the bottom blade.

6. Repeat steps to sharpen the opposite side of each blade.

Cleaning



WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing

with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around

the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved

dust mask when performing thisprocedure.



WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals

for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These

chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.

Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.

Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any

part of the tool into aliquid.
